WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
IMPORTANT
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the ap-
plication needs must be made by a Lennox service
technician using factory specified and approved
parts.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, person-
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must
be performed by a qualified installer, service agency
or the gas supplier.
Important Directions
1 - Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible
material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace
must bekept free of insulating material. Insulating ma-
terial may be combustible.
2-
DO NOT
obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an
unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air.
3-
DO NOT
store chlorine or fluorine products near unit
or introduce these products into the combustion air.
These products can cause furnace corrosion.
4-
DO NOT draw return airfrom a room wherethis fur-
nace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heat-
er), is installed.
When return airis drawn from aroom,
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gasap-
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure,
the flue products can be pulled back down the vent
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue
gas may result in incomplete combustion and the
formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas
might then be distributed throughout the house by the
furnace duct system.
WARNING
The blower door must be securely in place when the
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into
the living space resulting in personal injury or death.
Your furnace is a gas appliance.
It is critical that the gas
supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the pro-
duction of carbon monoxide gas. Complete combustion of
the gas requires, but is not limited to, correct gas pressure
and gas flow rate, adequate combustion, air, and proper
venting.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and
toxic.
Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal inju-
ry and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any item
that is powered by or gives off heat from a combustion pro-
cess (including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fireplaces)
has the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas. Because
of this,
Lennox recommends the use of a carbon monox-
ide detector in your home, even if you do not own gas
appliances.
Reliable detectors are available at reasonable
retail prices. Contact your Lennox dealer for more details
about this investment in your safety.
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by nation-
al agencies, and to operate safely when properly installed
and maintained. However, the unit’s performance can be
greatly impacted by the individual installation and the op-
erating environment.It is your responsibility toensure that
this appliance is maintained. Proper maintenance is criti-
cal for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the
product.
Lennox strongly recommends annual in-
spection and maintenance of this appliance.
